I have a preference for Windows or Distibuted. I have a feeling that the current ways of writing Web applications, even with the new stuff like AJAX and such, are short lived and not worth the trouble (but I've been thinking that for a long time).

To Joe:
AJAX doesn't fundamentally change the way Web aplications are created. Yes, it does allow synchronous connections, FINALLY, but it's just one more thing bolted onto HTML. And there we have the problem...
Future developers will laugh at how early Web programmers had to jump through hoops to deal with the limitations of HTML. But, in fairness to HTML, it was never designed for what it is now expected to deliver anyway.

Tough call. Where I work (large Fortune 300 company) there's plenty of .NET demand in Windows apps. Not nearly as much in Web, and precious little Distributed. Web has been gaining of late, though.

Why Ajax will hav a short life??
Ajax is use on linux and also with asp.net heavly it is not just a linux technology.
Ajax is hot now & there is no incompatibilities to learn asp.net 2.0
and ajax. Actually you will be more marketable if you do so.
